Letter, 1871 July 19, Lafayette, to J. Slocum, Wilkes Barre, Penn.

page01

Some several years since I rec. a letter from you relative to painting the scene upon the Mississinawa river, embracing a view of the Deaf Man's village – the home of your Captive Aunt.From circumstances known to yourself - the commission to paint the scene was not sent to me.

The subject of your Aunt's captivity has been revived in my mind, by a revisionof my journal
